I went the ultimate DIY style... I have a sheet of cardboard that i cut to fit, painted it blue, and taped it on. It's lasted through 3 years as a freshwater tank and over a year on the saltwater now. My tank's against the wall, so I don't really care about the cardboard saying UHAUL on the back. Works well, but it also hasn't gotten wet, which i imagine would probably be the end of it. But.. if you feel creative... rockwall?

Well since my days off are here I guess I'll start to paint it. Any one paint it a different color? I was thinging a ocean blue/green. Like all those photos in scuba diving mags. Or just go with trusty black? Lots of work to be done this days.

A friend and I used a double layer of Limo Tint on the back of his tank to black it out. But as a response to DiverDude:
You can get sheets of vinyl in black or blue or whatever colour that you apply in the same way as you would window tint. It makes a really smooth finish. I used to work at an aquarium manufacturing warehouse and we switched from using krylon to this vinyl on the backs of tanks.

heres one that'll get ya all goin i couldn't decide on black or blue either and i also had the thought that if i ever moved o may want my tank to be a room divider meaning it would have to be visible on both sides so get this i went to the closet and got a black garbage bag and taped it very tight to the back and it is still there after a few months and i think i'm gonna stick with it cuz it does a good job of taking atention away from the overflow box and when i decide to do the room divider all i have to do is take it off , i thought it was a pretty cool idea . what do you think?
